Abstract
A detector selector and method are provided for selecting among detectors, where a less complex detector detects known symbols in a received signal, and a bit error rate for the known symbols is used to determine whether the less complex detection method is sufficient. If the less complex detector is not sufficient, a more complex detector is used to detect the signal. Additionally, assured symbols are used as known symbols to increase the accuracy for the determination of whether the less complex detector is sufficient.
